In a moment that left both her co-hosts and viewers utterly bemused, veteran broadcaster Kaye Adams dropped an age bombshell during Thursday's episode of ITV's Loose Women.
The Scottish presenter, who has been a mainstay on the popular daytime panel show for years, casually corrected her own age during a lively discussion about getting older.
'I'm actually 62, not 61!' Adams declared, much to the astonishment of fellow panellists including Denise Welch and Frankie Bridge.
The revelation came as the panel debated whether they felt their current age, with Adams initially stating she was 61 before promptly correcting herself. 'I've been saying I'm 61 for a year!' she laughed, acknowledging the mental lapse that many viewers could undoubtedly relate to.
Co-host Denise Welch immediately seized on the moment, joking: 'You've just given yourself an extra year! Most people try to take them away!'
The studio erupted in laughter as Adams good-naturedly embraced her mathematical error, proving that even television professionals aren't immune to those occasional memory glitches that come with busy lives.
This isn't the first time Adams has been open about age-related topics on the show. The presenter has previously spoken candidly about menopause and the challenges of aging in the public eye, earning praise from viewers for her honesty and humour.
The light-hearted moment provided the perfect example of why Loose Women has remained a daytime television favourite for over two decades - its ability to blend serious discussion with genuine, relatable moments that resonate with its audience.
Social media quickly lit up with reactions from amused viewers, with many praising Adams for her refreshing honesty and self-deprecating humour.
